You are a mother with two children.
)Your husband abandons the family and
1pops contributing to its support.
,-
-- At first you try to make it on your
,v-w-n.
You get a job, you go on ADC (Aid
b Families with Dependent Children),
' Jput even welfare's not enough.
What then?
? If you lived in any state but Missouri,
1 you could benefit from a federal child
support program which would find the
s fcbsent father and, by court order, make
ton start paying child support
4 The program was set up by Title 4-- D u the Social Security Act amendments
of 1974. Federal law requires states
t receiving federal funds for ADC to
implement a child support enforcement
program, of which the federal
government pays 75 per cent of the r administrative costs.
f The difference between the money
; spent collecting child support and the
actual collection not only reduces the
states' ADC costs, but it is split between
local, state and federal governments as
I an incentive to collect.
' But, that federal enforcement
program is not available in Missouri
because the state has failed to comply
with the federal guidelines net upjn
Title 4-- D. The VS. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare, which
v controls the states' ADC programs,
has threatened to summon Missouri to
a non-complian- ce hearing in
Washington, which could result in
multi-millio- n dollar federal welfare aid
p losses
i' At present, finding runaway fathers
i in this state is left up to the mothers, the
k local welfare offices and the county
b prosecuting attorneys. Usually, it's a
piecemeal effort.
f The Missouri Division of Family
1 Services recently completed a survey
which showed that 70 per cent of the
state's ADC families have absent
. parents who are not paying child
( support.
$ That is not the case in the other 49
states, which have working 4-- D
j programs. They have at their disposal a
federal "Parent Locator Service,"
' which has access to the records of the
Veterans Administration, the
i Department of Defense, the Social
Security Administration, and the
Internal Revenue Service.
The federal child support
enforcement law went into effect Oct 1,
I 1975. Most other states started their
search and enforcement programs
then. Some, such as Missouri, were
granted waivers by the federal
government enabling them to take
extra time to change existing laws.
Missouri's waiver expired July 1,
1976, and the state has been out of
compliance with federal law ever since.
The Missouri Legislature failed to
pass a child support law during last
spring's session. One proposal died in a
last-ho- ur Senate filibuster in which
some legislators said the federal
government was trying to force a
program down Missouri's throat.
Other lawmakers said the bill was
incomplete because it did not make
stepfathers legally responsible for
children receiving ADC benefits.
The major issue was the program's
administration. The original draft

Carter names 3 to cabinet
By James T. Wooten
N. Y. Times Service
PLAINS, Ga President-elec- t
Jimmy Carter added three mors names
to his cabinet on Tuesday, including a
black woman, and said the one
remaining appointment would be
announced on Christmas eve after he
returns today from the funeral of
Mayor Richard J Daley in Chicago.
He chose Harold Brown, president of
the California Institute of Technology,
to be secretary of defense; Patricia
Roberts Harris, a Washington
attorney, to be secretary of housing and
urban development, and Ray Marshall,
a professor at the University of Texas,
to be secretary of labor
On Thursday, Carter is expected to
complete his cabinet by announcing the
selection of Joseph A. Califano Jr., a
former aide to President Johnson, to
head the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Moreover, the president-ele- ct is
expected to bring James R. Schlesinger
into his administration on Thursday,
either as the head of the Federal
Energy Administration or as a
presidential assistant for energy
matters
Either appointment would be
temporary, sources indicated Tuesday,
and would be in effect only until
Schlesinger was named to head a new
cabinet department of energy which
Carter is expected to propose to
Congress.
Further, there were indications here
and in Washington that the president-elect
has decided to appoint Theodore
M Sorenson, who was a special
assistant to President Kennedy, to the
directorship of the Central Intelligence
Agency This would postpone for the
time being any separation of that post
from its traditional pairing with the
White House advisory job of director of
central intelligence.
After the news conference here at
which he presented his latest
appointees, Carter conferred at his
home with Cyrus Vance, the secretary
of state-designa- te, and then made plans
to fly to Chicago early today to attend
funeral services for Mayor Daley.
After introducing Brown, Mrs. Hams
and Marshall in a nationally televised
appearance at an agricultural
extension center here, Carter, in
response to questions, reiterated his
campaign pledge to reduce defense
expenditures by $5 billion to $7 billion in
capabilities if not m real dollars.
With his three latest appointees and
vice president-elec- t Walter F. Mondale
seated nearby, Carter said his cabinet
now holds "a wide diversity of
background and opinion, even political
philosophy," and described his own
future presidential role as "the
primary focal point for the evolution of
policy "
Each of the nominees reiterated in
one way or another the same
commitment to solidarity and pledged
to the President-elec- t complete
cooperation
Marshall, for instance, said that
when he assumes office as secretary of
labor he will present to Carter his
"strongest case" for the repeal of
Section 14B of the Taft-Hartl- ey Act the
so-call- ed "right to work" law which
Carter has said he does not favor but
will not actively oppose "Then Gov
Carter can make the decision,"
Marshall said
Brown, a former secretary of the Air
Force under President Johnson has
been the target of criticism from some
who believe his perspective on detente
with the Soviet Union too flexible
As Air Force secretary. Brown was
an ardent advocate of increased
bombing of North Vietnam He
described the Vietnam War as a
catastrophic time in American historj '
during which the U. S "misjudged the
political base for our activities there '
He said he had personally learned
some lessons from the war, one of
which was that "we must become more
cautious about such interventions "

Tossed about by strong winds and heavy seas, the grounded Liberian
tanker Argo Merchant breaks in half off the coast of Nantucket, Mass.,

Tuesday morning. Coast Guard officials estimate five million gallons of
oil spilled into the Atlantic after the break.
5 million gallons of oil spill into Atlantic
NANTUCKET, Mass. (UPI) - The
grounded "jinx" tanker Argo Merchant
was ripped in half by 20-fo- ot storm
waves Tuesday, spewing more than
five mllion gallons (19 million liters) of
heavy crude oil into some of the
Atlantic Ocean's most precious fishing
waters.
A Coast Guard spokesman said up to
75 per cent of the 7.6 million gallons
(28.88 million liters) of No.6 heavy duty
oil aboard the ship had emptied into the
cold Atlantic. The wave-wrecke- d ship,
twisted like a crushed beer can hanging
together by a few steel threads, tossed
helplessly about 27 miles (43 2
kilometers) southeast of Nantucket.
RusseU E. Train, administrator of the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, said the spill already was the
biggest such disaster in the history of
the US. Atlantic coast The Center for
Short-live-d Phenomena in Cambridge
said loss of the entire cargo would make
the disaster one of the world's largest
oil spills in the past decade
Globs of oil larger than basketballs
drifted in a stick 75 miles (120
kilometers) east-northea- st of the
wreckage. The slick sliced through the
internationally used Georges Bank
fishing grounds A further push to the
east would wash it up on the resort
beaches of this summer playground.
Volunteer groups of area residents
mobilized with environmentalists,
conservation officials and government
, authorities to fight the spill.
Hundreds of dead and dying seabirds
washed ashore There was grave
concern about the abundant Georges
Bank marine life and the almost-extinc- t
seals and humpback whales which
breed in the are?
The Coast Guard had not yet decided
on its next move Lt Cmdr Barry
Chambers said there was no way to
measure exactly how much oil was lost
until men got back on the ship
"It would be foolish to go back abord
until the seas had calmed down," he
said. "That's a big piece of steel out
there It's solid and we're just human "
He said it was sheer luck a decision
was made not to place men aboard
early Tuesday before the vessel
snapped
The Coast Guard said the bow of the
ship broke off about 9am

Flu shot warning overlooked
WASHINGTON (AP) - An
advisory against continued
immunization for the Hong Kong flu
was issued at the same time that the
swine flu shot program was
suspended, government health
officials Tuesday night said.
A spokesman for the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta said the
announcement of the suspension of
the flu immunization program last
Thursday was meant to include
Type B Hong Kong flu shots as well
as the more widely publicized swine
flu inoculations.
However, the official written
announcement made reference only
to "the national influenza
immunization program," without
specifically mentioning Hong Kong
flu. And in news briefings for
reporters at the time, officials made
no reference to the Hong Kong flu
inoculations.
The spokesman said the caution
against Hong Kong flu immunization
was issued because two persons who
had received tliat shot, but not swine
flu inoculations, laterwere struck by
a temporary paralytic condition
known as Guillain-Barr- e syndrome.
The swine flu program, in which
nearly 40 million Americans have
received shots, also was suspended
indefinitely because of the outbreak
of the disease.
The official count of Missourians
contracting the Guillain-Barr-e
Syndrome, which prompted a
moratorium on the nationwide swine
flu vaccination program, ramtins at
-- a dozen, state health officials said
Tuesday.
But the state also is investigating
another 14 cases.
13 children die in crash
LYON, France (UPI) A school bus
carrying mentally retarded children to
their homes from a special school
Tuesday night veered off a dead end
road in heavy fog and plunged into the
icy Rhone River, killing 13 children and
a teacher, police said.
Roger Chaix, police commissioner
for the Rhone region, said 12 of the
grammar school children and their 23-year-- old
teacher, Josiane Martin, died
instantly in the crash. A 13th child died
in the hospital four hours after the 7 40
p.m. (12:40 pm. CST) accident,
hospital officials said.
Ten survivors, including bus driver
Jean Paul Maury and another teacher,
were rescued from the freezing water
by firemen in black diving suits
working in 40-deg- ree weather, police
said.
Chaix said some of the surviving
children "are between hie and death in
the hospital."
Bus company officials said 38 persons
were aboard the bus when it left Lyon,
but the bus stopped to let off a dozen
children before the accident
Witnesses said the Mercedes bus
plunged into 16 feet (5 meters) of
water as the children screamed
The tail of the bus was visible to
witnesses who lined the river bank
while police divers and firemen
searched the black water for the
victims, all of grammar school age
Maury told reporters, "I was
completely lost. I turned in circles and
in circles."
Police were alerted by a workman
who was at a construction site nearby
and heard the victims scream.
The bus was taking them to their
homes in Lyon and its suburbs and was
in Port Edouard Hernot when the
driver came to a security barrier at the
end of a street which ended at the river
bank. He mistook the barrier for a
sidewalk, police said, and swerved into
the nver.
